I have a 1991 Hyundai excel and one of the pistons are not firing. New spark plugs and checked the wires, still didn't work. Thought the fuel injector might have been clogged so switched with another cylinder but still didn't work. Checked the camshaft to see if a lobe was worn or broken but it wasn't. I also checked to see if the valves were overtightened but they weren't. Stumped, please help
Put a spark tester on the plug and plug the spark plug wire onto the other end...attempt to stark and see if there is any spark going to that plug from the coil. If there is, do a compression test on all or at least a couple of cylinders to make comparison with the piston in question. If it doesn't have the right compression, the piston or rings are at fault.
Have you measured the compression? Very low compression can be the reason. And the reason for low compression can vary - broken compression ring, worn valve/valve seat... You are sure you are getting a spark, just before the spark plug, right? Have you checked the timing of ignition?
